Landlord Question and Answer Forum
Is it legal for a landlord to install a camera pointing to the tenant front door? I live in a duplex and occupy the front. The landlord lives at the back. Recently they installed a video camera system but the front camera is not pointing to the common fence or their driveway; it is pointing to my front door, my car and my driveway. They didn't even ask for my consent. Are they watching after me? What to do in this situation?

RE: landlord rights
That seems like it may be infringing on your privacy especially if there is a sitting area there or outdoor space to be. Cameras should only be installed with the consent of the tenant or if it is over viewing a common area. You may want to consent with a lawyer directly or ask the landlord directly why it has been set up. On the landlords side, is there a reason to be suspicious, are you violating the lease or breaking the law in any way that could hold the landlord responsible?
